I'm really glad the NL relic is a big nasty weapon. This guy was looking pretty silly on the battlefield lately with nothing to represent his weapon.

Well, technically speaking the relic doesn't represent that big spear. It specifically has to be a pair of lightning claws.
For whatever reason relics are exactingly specific now, so you could get some pushback in some circumstances- I wouldn't care but I can easily see a TO saying 'nope'

Interestingly by making them exactingly specific it can add a potential cost to stronger relics.

So what is the plan for taking out characters since they give significant leaderships buffs? Also, how is everyone planning on building their terror causing Warlord?

Well, do consider that you are sending the night lord warlord into the heart of your opponent's army in order to benefit from the NL warlord trait. High chance your warlord will also die, unless he is accompanied by a lot of raptors and other similar support.

Its a pretty decent legion tactic. I'm glad to see something a little different. Here's hoping the World Eaters wont be a copy paste of Templars. I want at least one of my army's buff to be decent. (World eaters and Imperial fists)

I think I would use a Chaos Lord with a jump pack and 2 lightning claws turned claws of the black hunt that was NOT my warlord as the character killer if i wanted one. The trait is okay, but certainly not required. Then the sorcerer giving the spells, or the other lord sitting in the back with my shooty stuff, etc, would be the warlord with some other warlord trait that makes sense for them.

I was Thinking the exact same, no point giving away your warlord when the Relic weapon can be taken by any lord with lightning claws.

I definitely think this setup will be making it's way into most of my army lists, paired with some warp talons, you have a group that can cut the heart out of a battle line and leave your opponent on the back foot.

in fairness being able to re-roll charges is a LOT more useful when you have khorne bezerkers

They can already reroll charges with the icon. Their trait is rumored to be +1 attack on the charge, i think. Which is pretty damn good.
